Giving up family time as a medical professional or first responder is part of the game, and fairly compensated for. It's also necessary for the greater good. For retail workers, it's a chance to trade family time for a rollicking shift of insults, abuse and anger.
Part of being conservative means honoring, enjoying and caring for family. There is no need for retailers to open before 6:00 AM on Friday.
Got that right!!
Some business says that employees can't wear a cross or a US flag pin and people here on FR go completely ballistic. I've seen it a dozen times.
But the same business says employees can't have Thanksgiving with their families, and the response here is "Suck it up, Bunky, it's root, hog, or die".
We need doctors and police to work, but the world will go on if people can’t get their big screen TV at 5 AM in the morning.
Now that black friday is all about the door busters there most definitely is a reason to be open before 6 friday: your competition. Black friday is basically over by 9AM now, by noon it’s down to a basic “normal” shopping day. When it was an all day affair you were right, but now it’s a sprint, one more hour open before 9AM could mean the difference between existing next year and not.

Yep, people who work in Law Enforcement, the field of Medicine, or who are first responders (EMT, Fire fighters, etc) NEVER endure insults, abuse, and/or anger.
